"These projecting parts 5 an'd are itted against the outer surface of the rod 2 be-V tween two longitudinally extending ribs 7` '35 formed thereon tol prevent lateral displace:-

The sleeve or collar 10 is provided with a hollow vprojection or housing 11 containing an eccentric 12 which is pivoted thereto by means of a suitable pin orshaft 13 which eX- f Thespring 516 is insertedv into vacavitA Vinterior ot the collar before the colla-'ris appliedtothe rod Azyvhen;the kparte are as- 'or opening/17 thereinopposite the eu-tersi'de olf the arm te `permit #any conve-nient partfer part' 5 to he Withdrawn from the member y9 forfthefremoval'of the-reel -fror'rithe rodi 'of e 'Vhen it'v is desiredto apply fthe reel tothe {1930} een naine-,eea

.toward the member,

rod toward the member 9 until the collar embraces the reel part G and comes into firm engagement therewith and thus locks the reel upon the rod, the eccentric l2 permitting the collar l() to be moved toward the member 9 and preventing the collar from moving in a reverse direction after the reel has been locked upon the rod, as previously explained.

I claim as my invention: i

l. The combination of a rod, a connecting member iixed thereon, a collar slidable on the rod toward and 'from the member, a reel having parte constructed to be received-by said member and said collarand to be thereby secured to the rod When the collar is moved i eccentric pivoted on the collar to engage and bind against the rod when turned in one direction and to free the v,rod when turned in thereverse direction and a spring holding the eccentric in engagement With the rod, the eccentric permitting the collar to be moved toward and prevent-- ing it. from being moved from the member.

2. rlhe combination of a rod, a connecting member iiired theieon, a collar slidable on the rod toward and from thel member, a reel having parts constructed 'to be received by said member and said collar and to be thereby secured to the rod When the Ycollar is moved ytoward the member, an eccentric pivoted on the collar to engage and bind against the rod when turned in one `direction and to free the rod When turned in the reverse direction, an arm extending from the eccentric-anda spring interposed between the arm Vand a part of the collar andholding the eccentric in `engagement' With the rod, the eccentric permitting the collar tov be moved toward and preventing it from being moved from the member. y y

` 3. rlhe combination of a rod, a connecting member fixed thereon, a collar siidable on the rod toward and from the member, a reel having parts constructed to be received by .said member and said collar and to be therev by secured tothe rod when the collar is moved toward the member, an eccentric pivoted on the collar to engage and bind against the rod When turned in one direction and to free the rod when turned in the reverse direction, an arm extending from the eccentric andhavin'g a cavity therein and a spring Within said cavity and acting against said arm and a part oiu the collar and hoiding the eccentric in engagement with the rod., the eccentric permit- Y ting the collar to be moved toward and pre- -venting it from being moved from the member.

e. The combination of a rod, a connecting member fixed thereon, a collar slidable on the rod toward and from the member and having a housing thereon, a reel having parts constructed to be received by said member and said collar and to be thereby secured to the rod when the collar is moved toward the member, an eccentric pivoted on the collar to engage and bind against the rod When turned in one direction and to free the rod When turned in the reverse direction, an arm eX- tending from the eccentric and a spring interposed between the arm and a part of the collar and holding the eccentric in engagement with the rod, said eccentric and said arm being Wholly coniined Within said housing, the Wall of said housing opposite to said arm having, a hole thereinl for the insertion of a part to act against the arm to move it against the action of said spring to free the eccentric from binding engagement with the rod, and the eccentric permitting the collar to be moved toward and preventing it from being moved from the member.

5. The` combination of a rod, a connecting member fixed thereon, a collar slidable on thev rod toward and 'from the member and ,having a housing thereon, a reel having parts constructed to be received by said member and said collar and 'to be therebysecured to the rod Whenlthe collar isv moved toward `the memb r, aiieccentric pivoted on the col- `Wall ot the housing having an opening therein for the insertion oi"- the eccentric and its arminto the housing from Ythe interior ci the collar, the outer vvvall of the housing having a hole therein opposite to said arm .for the insertion of va part to act against the arm to move it against the action of said spring to free the eccentric from binding engagement with thc rod and ythe eccentric permitting the collar to be Vmoved toward and preventing it from being moved from the member.

in testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.
